All too many want to play it safe, some think talking is enough, think preaching to the choir is enough or compromise, this is all wrong. You will be put to test on how well you live up to your own book of rules and more, there are groups out there looking to kill you and they are not going to play nice.

It’s time to speak up, speak out and clarify who Barack Obama really is and what he’s done in five years in an attempt to destroy our Nation. Let’s call a “Spade a Spade” now, to heck with what someone has conjured up as to what is and what isn’t politically correct. Don’t know about you but I tossed the “Damn” race card out in | Read More »

So Business Insider notes this Time cover: “Elephant in the room?” You have to admit: that’s some dang good passive-aggressive, plausibly deniable fat-shaming, there (note that Allahpundit over at Hot Air noted the exact same sneak-hit that we at RedState did). Fortunately, our own Ben Howe notes that you can play with the symbolic meanings of the totem animals of both sides:

The fundamental principal of our Exceptional form of government is that we are a Christian Nation. More precisely, the first principal of Individual Conscience as opposed to a Collectivist number with no freedom, a Public Government of individuals whom have the moral conscience to govern their selves. Thus a Nation that Declared Independence from the Socialist State of governance a long time ago and established | Read More »

We live in a liberal world. We conservatives like to say that the United States is a center right nation but, as Joe Biden says, that is malarkey. Within our homes, most of America lives by a center right credo. We do not, however, live a conservative public life. The national conversation has changed and it is a liberal world. Conservative ideas must be whispered | Read More »

Karen Lewis is head of the powerful Chicago Teachers Union, currently striking against the Chicago Public School system. The strike is actually a power play for Lewis, who wants both to control how teachers are evaluated in Chicago and to extend her power in union circles — and probably in political circles, as well.

An appeal to my reasonable conservative friends: If you are not reasonable and open-minded, don’t read any further. I’m not looking for “zots.” I’m looking for reasonable people who are serious about making the right choice. When I know I’ve chosen wisely, I feel at peace, without doubt in my mind, and start to get excited – like Chrissy Mathews, I get “that tingle.” How | Read More »

Thanks to Politizoid for pointing out on June 1 the Meghan Daum editorial offering a laughable explanation of Obama’s inarticulate stammering. Rather than an articulate defense of the inarticulate, she provided an instructive example of the nature of liberal argumentation in this post-Alinsky world. Let’s break it down. Instead of defending Obama on his merits, she offers a preposterous and flimsy alternate explanation: he’s too | Read More »

Obama was applauded by the son of Neo-Marxist, Saul Alinsky, for applying his father’s tactics to campaign 2008. His base applied good ole Saul’s advice that nothing is sacred during what was supposed to be a memorial service. Ironically, Alinskians believe it’s okay to play God, but nothing is sacred. Contray to showing respect, they turned the occasion into a pep rally with campaign overtones, replete | Read More »

A great deal has been written about Saul Alinsky‘s book “Rules for Radicals.” Much of it tends to ignore the rules and focus on other things, like whether Alinsky was a communist. I think that knowing and understanding the rules is very helpful to those of us who participate in the fight for freedom. I came by my knowledge of Brother Saul and the “Rules” | Read More »

Pardon my French. I’m referring to the accusations flying from both ends of the political spectrum, and the associated denials by the targets. These to-and-fro volleys are all part of everyday political life, although they do become more vicious, and often desperate and unfounded, as elections loom large on the horizon. Sharron Angle and Harry Reid in live debate. I have been accused, on more | Read More »

Many people today believe Saul Alinsky wrote The Textbook on political activism. Not so, actually, although as a “How-to” it’s very good. As many on the Right already know, most of Alinsky’s Rules for Radical are apolitical. Anyone can use them for almost any purpose. They are tools, with no politics, no soul, no belief system. I use them all the time. But there’s a | Read More »

In much better times, back when Democrats were going to save the world from the evil Bush regime, Nancy Pelosi uttered words that changed America forever and provided hope to the masses: those words were her pledge to lead the most honest,open, ethical Congress in history. Oh how times have changed. Now Obama’s approval ratings are down–a new poll released today shows him as low | Read More »
